A computer diagnostic test will show a timing belt problem for a 1999 Mazda 626. If there is a problem with the belt, diagnostics will determine if it needs to be repaired or replaced.
That particular model does not have a chain,, it has a belt. and it needs to be changed at 60k or it will BREAK!
This truck has a timing chain, not a belt. The chain will last longer than a belt and should not be replaced until it fails.
The vehicle has a timing chain that keeps the camshaft spinning correctly relative to the crankshaft. It also has a serpentine belt (what used to be known as fan belts) that operates the AC compressor, alternator, air pump, and water pump. Some people still call serpentine belts a timing belt even though it has no effect on engine timing. Many 4 cylinder engines use a timing belt in place of a chain. I think this is where the confusion starts.
On most engines, the water pump drive belt is also the timing belt.

The timing belt on a 2002 Mazda 626 should be changed every 100,000 miles. By replacing it before it completely fails, costs repairs can be avoided.
NO you do not have to pull the engine.
